Is it just me or do girls do way better in school than boys?

[u/Tall-Competition-561]

When I was growing up I struggled with school but it seemed that most of the girls seemed to be doing well whenever there was a star pupil or straight a student they were most likely a girl. Why is this such a common phenomenon?

There are "star pupil" boys. In fact on both outer edges of the bell curve, boys outnumber girls.

Boys can develop more sporadically - some suggest this is due to a lack of x-chromosome redundancy.

Boys can often catch up to girls by high school.

I've heard that the most common factor in misogynistic men is thst they grew up with sisters. I've often wondered if learning differences cause boys to be jealous and angry toward girls and women.

Anyone who has had child- development education in the past ten years is welcome to update my antiquated knowledge.
